She raised her other eyebrow before jumping down from the window and helping him sit up.
"Where have you been injured?"
She knew some remedial healing procedures but she was no doctor, and hoped that he wasn't infected. It would be a damn shame if she had to waste a perfectly good person.

((Sorry I didn't post yesterday... My parents had to take a sudden road trip for business reasons... So I didn't get to post -_-'...))
As soon as Mizuki came out everyone stood up, as if it was disrespectful to sit in his presence. But, mostly it was because they were ready to talk about a plan. This was also confirmed by the young man's facial expression as he came out.
"Of course... Food sounds like a good idea. We have planty for now, but there is nothing bad in having more." Nina said folding her arms.
"I'm gonna go with you." Kalila stated putting her hands behind her back and rocking on her feet a little. "You'll need help to carry things... Also if we do get attacked, it be best to have a light weight of things so you can f*ckin' run." She said with a smile. She, herself, was quite happy about Mizuki's choice in outfit. It confirmed his taste in music... Which was good thing for her.
"I'm going too!" Nicholas piped up, shoving his hands in his pockets. He wanted to protect his sister. Not nessessarily just from the infected. Apparently Nicholas was also fooled by Mizuki's play on being confident. He was suspicious of Mizuki alone with his sister, but he liked the fellow, so nothing else bothered him. But he is a guy It would be easier to just go then convince Kali not to go... he thought, mentally rolling his eyes. He thought maybe his presece would just make the two dancing around each other stop. He for sure knew Kalila liked Mizuki, by the way she acted... But, he didn't know about Mizuki. But, just in case, he would go. His thoughts changed a little as he looked at Nina. "That would mean you have to stay here and wait for him to come to... Pft... Plus I don't want any other people to come and use this as their fort if they discovered it." He told Nina, frowning a bit.
Nina sighed, That means no action for me... She thought sadly. "What if I just left a note for him?" She asked looking at everyone, then she looked at Garath. She didn't want him to wake up alone, or even sleep alone. What if something infected got in? He wouldn't be able to protect himself. "Nevermind... I guess I'll stay!" She said grudgingly, but on the inside she really wanted to stay with Garath. She hated zombies.
"But," She emphasised "No bullsh*t... You guys go and come right back... And give me those!" She said snatching the bokken from Kalila and Nocholas. "I'll be right back... I'll bring one for you too." She said to Mizuki, also. "You don't have to use it... But you know..." She ran out of the door to her room into the hallway. They could hear her run across the hall and run back after a quick pause. She was back in the room again with a grin. She put 4 swords on the floor in front of the group of three and picked one of the up for herself. She picked up a rapier for herself, because that is what she was best with. "I got a katana for Kalila... 'cause I know that's her specialty." She said, and Kalila picked it up by the sheath and tied the whole thing to her waist instead of the bokken. "A gladius for Nicholas because... I don't know why... You seem like a gladius kind of person..." She mused out loud, as Nicholas grabbed the weapon with a smile. Indeed, he loved a good gladius. She looked at Mizuki and smiled sheepishly. "I would have gotten you a katana... But we only have one." She said, refering to her and her father. "But... I brought a claymore... Hope you can handle it." She said lifting it up herself and handing it to Mizuki. It was smaller compared to most claymore, but not by much.
"Oh man! That reminds me. I think all of us should know about this... It's kind of a moral support of sorts." Nicholas blurted out.
"Good idea." Kalila said with a nod of approval to her little brother. She wanted to see Mizuki's reaction, just in case, so her theory before could have some standing.
"Um... On the news, there was this doctor getting interviewed..." Nicholas informed Mizuki about the whole interview with the doctor. The theories, the possiblity of finding a vaccine or cure, the research, searching for "carriers," how birds weren't infected and they were researching those too, he told him everything. He took a breath after saying everything. He saw himself as unofficially given the title "informer" due to his watching television the entire time.

Mizuki didn't keep eye contact with Nina as she spoke of food. It was not out of disrespect - he was listening intently, nodding along to her words- but out of distraction. He was also trying to belt down as much weaponry to his skinny form as he could without being inconvinenced by it.
He was all too aware that his hands would be preoccupied with carrier bags as he wasn't intending to take his back pack as he didn't want to be weighed down.
Weighing the odds he was starting to favour the idea of having free hands so swapped the plastic bags back. He emptied the contents of his bag on the floor and kicked it into a corner. Various clothes, clean undergarments, a few painkillers, soap, and an empty jack daniels bottle.
He shoved it all out the way with his foot and shrugged his empty pack on, shot gun over the top. He had a feeling he'd be needing that before he would be needing his bag.
Shotgun, Check.
He looked at his dagger and thought of jumping with it in his belt - and it sinking straight into his thigh. He laid it on the table with a shudder and smiled at Nina.
"I'll leave it here for you just in case."
He hefted his bloodied plank, his favourite trophe weapon and slipped that through his belt - nails facing out.
As Kalila spoke Mizuki narrowed his eyes in displeasure.
"I'm not so sure that's a good idea."
He didn't want to admit that he didn't want her going because it wasn't safe. That much was obvious. What wasn't so obvious was the fact that she might not be safe from him. That, and in all honesty, he felt she'd slow him down.
If he travelled alone he'd only have himself to worry about. He wouldn't have to constantly look over his shoulder and worry about someone elses safety. He wouldn't have to adapt his route to suit someone else. Though, Kalila had prooved she was very able bodied already.
When Nicholas piped up, Mizuki actually palmed himself in the forehead.
When Nina came back with the blades he suddenly felt stupid for leaving her with his dagger. Looked like she definately didn't need it.
And the sword she handed to him. Woah. It was like something out of a medieval sketch. Something knights would weild.
It also had a sheath so was much more useful that the dagger and he gratefull attatched the sheath to his belt.
Damn. I'm turning into Rambo
Then Nick started talking about what the Doctor had said on the television and Mizuki had to physically fight to stop his face from falling in shock and fear. That settled it. He couldn't tell them what he suspected of himself. Not even if he'd wanted too.
Now, they would hand him over to the doctors. And he would be put through all sorts of horrific tests. They'd slice and dice him - cut him open to see how he ticked.
Knowing full well that he was infected - they were hardly gunna treat him as a human were they?
Mizuki diguised his fears by turning on the siblings to confront his issues about them accompanying him.
"This isn't gunna be a quick in and out guys. I am planning on going to the DIY store and then to the arms store! That's clear across town. Like eight or so blocks away from the DIY and atleast five in the opposite direction to the Food Stores. It's in a rough end too. If there are any people people left, they'll be nasty. It's gunna be - beyond dangerous. Especially as night in closing in. I don't think the Crazie's sleep."
He looked at Nicholas, his optics latching fiercely on to the younger boys.
"You want to come to protect your sister. This ain't no video game. This ain't no film where we all live just because we're main characters and thats the way things go. These things won't go easy on you because you're a kid. . ."
He turned to Kalila, equally as stern.
"And you. What if something happens to you? What would Nick do then, hm?"

Nina smiled at the offered dagger. She knew, and soon he had found out, that she wouldn't need it. But maybe she would. She left it on the desk, but pushed it, handle first, near the edge. This seems like a good "Oh gosh I was caught off guard!" weapons to snatch at when you needed it. she thought. Her father mostly collected swords, and mostly long blades. They had a few short blades, but they didn't get any attention. Nina had been looking over at Mizuki's under garments every so often, when she knew Mizuki's attention was off her.
"Oh..." Kalila said after everyone spoke, her expression going blank as she looked at the floor. "I promise I can be of some help! Nicholas won't have to worry..." She said looking back up at Mizuki pleadingly. "Nicho you're not going!" She said sternly, commandingly, but her expression read "I offer you peace, now co-operate."
Nicholas didn't even answer, he just narrowed his eyes at her.
"I could empty out our backpack and we could use that as well to carry stuff." She said trying to convince him, ignoring her little brother for a little bit. "I promise I'll look after myself... You don't even have to worry about it. I'll just be there for your use. Plus, I know this town like the back of my hand. I promise..." She repeated holding her hands together in front of her in a representation of "please." She started arguing for her brother too. He was not someone easy to unconvince, and she realized it wasn't going to happen. "Nicho can run fast... and I mean fast. He could easily out manuever zombies..." She said. Earlier she had blinked a little at the term "crazies." She had heard him use it before, but it still didn't register to her. It was a weird term, but it worked. "He's not going to listen to me not to go anyway!" She said turning to Nicholas to frown at him. He was stubborn, even more so than herself.
"Pft..." Nicholas on the other hand was very offended by Mizuki's statement. He hated when people tried to make themselves seem invincable compared to himself. That might not have been what Mizuki was doing, but that's how the barely-teenager saw it. "I know they won't go easy on me... I have common-sense!" He said with an edge to his voice. "Actually we might be a little safer at night... I don't think these things have good night vision. According to the news, they see everything in darker vision, so at night they're almost blind... Unless you're a dumb@$$ and you wear white or some other light color..." He informed. "But, their smelling is stronger. So the unsafe one would be you out of the people going out. You have the lightest skin." He said with a taunting smirk. "Oh... You again because now you smell like fresh girly hair products. Then Kalila because she smells like girly hair products from earlier today... The stuff I used earlier today doesn't give off a strong floral or/and fruity scent as what you two lathered on your skin and hair." he emphasized fruity. The boy was angry. His like of Mizuki forgotten for a few seconds, his stubborn anger controlling his mind.
Kalila gasped, glared, and pouted petting her beloved curly hair.
"Put that in a ponytail" Nina said with a slight frown, tossing a ponytail holder at her. Again, loose clothes and hair wasn't a good idea during this situation, according to her zombie survival guide. Easier for the infected to grab at someone. Kalila was wearing a black lolita dress and the bottom skirt-part was poofy-ish, but the top part was skin-tight. The sleeves were loose too. But Kalila had them rolled up to her elbows and safety-pinned so they didn't swoosh everywhere. So, Nina thought, Now she should be ok...
Slighly caught off guard, she caught the elastic band after batting it up in the air once, and quickly put her hair up in a mid-high ponytail. After it was done, Kalila batted at her brother. "Stop being such a douche!" She said, her voice now having a commanding raise, though she liked the new information about the infected and kept it locked in her memory. "Show some respect."
"Uh-huh..." Nicholas responded half-heartedly, still looking angrily at Mizuki.
"Ok... Anyways," Nina started, opening up a drawer in her desk, and interrupting the violent atmosphere. "I have these..." She said digging out two walkie-talkies. "Cell phones probably won't work to well around here anymore." She said with a shrug. She handed one off to Nicholas, trying to keep him preoccupied with the new device rather than being angry with Mizuki. She kept the other. "If you guys ever need any information or anything at all- talk to me." She said with a smile. "The electricity is still on... and should be for a couple days. The internet is also running. So anything... I'm here." She said pointing at the walkie-talkie.

Mizuki was grinning, his focus completely on the younger of the two. Nicholas. He could practically hear the kids heart beat. All that blood pumping around in anger. His eyes scanned the boys face, from those furrowed eyebrows to that wrinkled nose to the way his upper lip curled back bearing his teeth.
The boy didn't realise it but he was referring back to primal status. All humans did it and didn't realise it.
Nicho's anger excited Mizuki. Pumped him up and made him ready to face the dangers that lurked outside.
And the insults. By God! Pure gold. Mizuki had taken to punching himself in the face before heading out when he had been alone. It got the adrenaline going. Made you ready for anything.
His grin quite manic he laughed and shrugged off all of what any of them had said with a simple roll of his shoulders. Insults, mostly, were like water off a ducks back to Mizuki - he'd had to put up with a lot of it when he was Nicholas' age.
"I guess I'm stuck with a girl and a whiney little kid that can run fast." Mizuki whipped back sharply in an attempt to upset Nicholas further.
It wasn't him being cruel. It was to get the blood pumping faster. To get that adrenaline pumping.
He smirked at Nicholas and looked to Kalila.
"Right. And it's true. We will be walking targets. I, personally, will probably give off the stink of fresh wounds." He indicated his side lazily. "The Crazie's smell that, they smell food, and they'll go for it. Hunting in packs they'll take on stronger bigger things. But in small groups - they'll target the easy prey." On 'easy prey' Mizuki jabbed a thumb in his own direction and grinned.
"So being with me will be dangerous. Made even more so by the fact I smell of fresh fruit." He shot a dagger glance at Nicho, his lips once more curled into a cruel smirk.
That's it kiddo. You get nice and pissy.
He accepted the walkie talkie from Nina with a genuinely polite nod his head.
"Does it have a silent setting? If we get split up, I don't want to be beeped on when I'm hiding from a mob of hungry Crazies. I was thinking night would provide good cover. But we'll also be at a disadvantage." He was looking at Nina because she seemed to be the resident Crazie Expert. "We can't see all that well in the dark and we can't smell as strongly as them. What do you think?"
He looked at Nicholas again. Even though the kid wasn't that much shorter than him, Mizuki being short for his age, Mizuki still bent and put his hands on his knees as if he were addressing a small child.
"You think you can handle all this Nicky-Boy?" The kid had expressed displeasure at the term early so Mizuki kept it up. Get the kid real angry. Mizuki had an ultimate aim from the younger boy and here it was:
"C'mon kid. You think you can take all this s**t? Think you got what it takes. We get seperated, you think you can last five ******** minutes without me jumping in to save your a**. C'mon. Show me what you ******** got! Hit me! Little p***y. Think your tought just because you can beat some pixelated bad guys from beyond the grave, sat in your room all by yourself. Grow the <********> up!"

Crimson saw no reaction from his slumped body.
"Great. Now I have to deal with this."
She figured she would hit the DIY store, and see if their was any doctor books or medicine, something. Leaning out the window, she figured that she would need more weapons, seeing how she depleted her store down in the subway. After scoping out the area, she went looking around for garbage, or any spices so she rub on herself. The infected, she learned after aquiring some food, have a sharpened sense of smell, but weak eyes. Slow reflexes but gained strength. She bit her lip, remembering the transformations of her friends, how they become monsters, how she had to slaughter them all for the sake of everyone else. Everyone else were afraid, they couldn't do. They couldn't kill their best friends, their girlfriends, their family. She had to do. Do it all.How many people, no, not people, infected did she have to kill until there was only her?
Shaking her head, she let the thoughts disappear, she liked it better when she didn't have to think, just let your body take over your mind.
Don't think, don't think.

((Sorry... I'm still with my parents on the business trip. Probably by two days I should be able to post regularly...))
Kalila and Nina rolled their eyes at the girl comment. But, they said nothing else, it was a pointless argument. When time came to it, they would show what a "girl" could really do. Nicholas just sneered at him a little more. His speed had saved him many times in the past before. And he was proud of it. Kalila had been the one who ran fast originally. If it hadn't been for his need to excell past her in that he would have never became so fast. The first day he beat Kalila in a running race was the day he cherished the skill. That was probably three months ago.
"Yeah... Probably not." Nina said holding up her walkie talkie. "Just press this button. Keeps it off." She said simply. "I'll also try not to talk to you unless it's of dire importance. You guys talk to me when needed." She ordered the whole group.
"Oh... As for that," She refered to the the infected's strong sense of smell. "I got'chya covered." She said with a wink. "Onions and spices!" She said with a grin. "Kalila, could you go get that for me?" She said.
"Of course..." Kalila said with a smile and headed off to the kitchen. She already had a good idea of what the plan was. She was part of an Indian family for one thing. Second thing was Nina and herself had pulled of a prank with the things they were about to make. The result was a win for them both.
"Ok," She began, looking back to Nicholas and Mizuki. "What we do is we have onions... I want you guys to carry them in your bags... or by hand... It doesn't matter." She said shaking her head, slightly annoyed with herself for wasting time wit her explanation. "Onions have layers... So what we do is we hollow out some of the inner layers-"
Kalila walked back in with an orange, mesh bag of onions on top of a drawer, she pulled the whole thing out, of spices. "I didn't know how many you wanted..." She said with a slight blush, putting the items at Nina's feet.
"It's ok." Nina said waving it off. She turned her attention back to the boys. "And you put spices into the hollowed part. And guess what?" Nina said with a cheshire cat grin. "You throw them! In every which direction to spread the smell and mask yourself!" She said excitedly. "Kalila, would you like to make one for example?"
"Indeed I would." Kalila said with a mock salute. She took and onion out and picked up a random pen on the ground. She cut a slight slit through a couple of layers and took out the inner part. After doing that she took five of the spices and poured them liberally into the onion. She closed it and held it up. It looked just like a normal onion, except it was a lot more colorful. Her eyes were watering from the waff the onion gave off, and she wiped at the with her hardcore-bracelet covered arm. But, none the less she smiled up at the two young men in front of her, admiring her handy work.
"Ok... Throw it out the window!" Nina said happily racing to the window.
Kalila ran to stand beside her and made sure Mizuki and Nicholas were watching. "Now pay attention." She said with a shadow of a mischeivious smile. She threw it to the ground below with all her strength. It hit the ground with a slight crack and a huge huge spicy, colorful cloud formed in its place. "Awesome, huh?" the smell made it all the way up to the window.
"Freakin' sweet..." Nicholas said calmly, but he meant it profusely.
"Oh wow. That made me hungry." Nina commented at the smell of spices. "Imma take one of your protien bars. That cool with you?" She asked Kalila.
Kalila nodded, "Give me one to."
"Ok" She replied, going to Kalila's bag and digging through it. She pulled out two of the chocolatey bars and threw one to Kalila. Kalila thanked her and looked to Nicholas with the unspoken question "Are you hungry?"
"Already ate." He replied out loud. He had got some stuff out of his bag as he watched the news earlier. So Nina and Kalila both bagan to eat.
But then Mizuki started poking Nicholas with mockery. Nicholas was already irked beyond his limit. He was one of those people who hit when annoyed beyond all reason anyway. Kalila was usually the one recieving the hits. It use to not bother Kalila much, but now he was taller than her by two inches. He was still weaker than her, but stronger than he use to be. After all, Kalila was really short, and Nicholas was tall for his age.
Again Mizuki had called him "Nicky." He hated it so much. He didn't even like to be called "Nick," just "Nicholas," and if you were close enough to him, "Nicho." He clenched his teeth, putting his all into controlling himself.
Mizuki continued prodded him.
"Um... Mizuki, that's not a good idea... He will hit you." Kalila said with a slight frown. What the heck? It's like he's wants to get hit... Not just mocking... she thought, swollowing a bite of food.
A millisecond after Mizuki finished talking, Nicholas fists collided with Mizuki's cheek bone in a hooked punch.
Nina had gasped.
Kalila had shreiked, slightly.
"So the f*ck what if I play a lot of video games!?" Nicholas spat at him. "You can judge what I like by that piece of information- but you can't judge anything else about me through them!" He growled, going for another punch. Kalila had dropped the remained of the bar, ran in, and grabbed her brother, circling her arms around his shoulder, swooping him down a few inches to her level. He just let out a humorless laugh. "Oh... It'll be me who saves your @$$- you'll see... And only because you saved mine earlier... and Kalila likes you." he did too, but he just couldn't remember through his anger at the moment. It was a promise from Nicholas to Mizuki. He continued to glare at him.
Kalila quickly turned her little brother around and petted his head, since he was already down to her level. She hugged his head to her. "Calm down, son. It's ok." She said in a motherly tone, though she was frowning. When she said "son," she was using the slang term, not the literal. She mouthed "sorry" to Mizuki, but her frown didn't seise. She was slightly upset with both of them, because of the situation.

((It took me for ever to read ever thing that's happened.))
Garath moaned abit. His head was killing him. His eyes opened and the he reached a hand back to stroke the back of his head. Is took him a second to remember where he was and why his head hurt. "Now I know why doctors alwatys wash there hands so much. I'm definatly not going to make that mistake again." His voice was kind of grogy and was really soft. His head was also groggy and he knew he wasn't going to be that much use to anyone till his head stopped hurting. On the plus side he didn't think he had a concussion. He tryied to get up but decided against that. "So What's happening."

((I'm very happy you read through it though ^_^... Thank you very much ^.^!))
Nina hadn't liked the situation. There was tension eminating off of it. She had just consintrated on finishing the protien bar, but now it was gone and there was nothing else to preoccupy her time. She was so glad to see Garath wake up, she ran over to him. A) because he was awake after such a nasty knock out, and B) because it gave her a way of exiting the other situation. She knealt beside him and smiled. "How nice of you to join us Sleeping Beauty..." She murmured. She looked back at Nicholas, Kalila, and Mizuki then back to Garath. "Well you see..." She started informing him of everthing that happened while he was knocked out. Nina started with the situation at hand now. The onion bombs and Nicholas punching Mizuki. Then she worked her way backwards. She forgot to mention the news report so she went back to that and told him. "Um..." She said sqeezing her eyes shut trying to remember anything else. "Oh yeah... I'm staying here to protect our 'base' and you. But now you're awake... So I don't know what to do." She said with a sheepish smile. "I'm still staying here to protect this place, But I don't know about you..." She said after a little while of thinking. "Perhaps you could stay with me. If people try to take this base... Me alone won't be enough to stop them. Plus Mizuki's reluctant to even take those two." She said, jabbing her thumb back at Kalila and Nicholas behind her.

Mizuki watched the onion bombs with slight interest. True they would come in handy, but surely your hand swould stink of onion after. And throwing one just outside the window would draw the Crazies over here before they even got out?
He frowned to himself. He really should stop being so critical of everything. It was an amazing idea in all fairness and one he was sure would come a lot in handy. Plus they made a pretty cool explosion. Colourful.
They reminded him of the fireworks he and his family used to go watch at the Gardens before they ven came to this country. He was suprisied he could still remember them actually.
Mushi ga naku zawameku, Hachigatsu no gionsoka to sensu oku
He fought to keep the smile off his face. That would not help the situation. He was trying to get Nicholas worked up, that would all peel away at the edges if he began to smile and cheer up a bit.
When Nicholas's hand did collide with Mizuki's cheek - it hurt.
Though it did not hurt as much as Mizuki had hoped it would, it did the trick. He had to remind himself that Nicholas was merely a thirteen year old boy. Still, it was a good solid hit.
Mizuki's head was barely shifted by the impact, but it was enough to shift his head to the side.
Mizuki stepped back laughing merrily, raising a hand to his cheek. Tender probing with gentle fingertips told him that there was a slight graze left as reminder of that angry little fist.
He was laughing as if some one had just told a joke that had particularly tickled him. He rubbed his cheek again and grinned at Nicholas.
"Nice ******** shot, mate!" He cheered.
He stepped in closer, but not too close. He understood now that he had got Nicholas very angry and didn't want to invade his personal space so soon after.
He rested a hand on Kalila's shoulder gently.
"No, no. Don't comfort him Kalila or it'll ruin the effect."
Using very little force, he started to peel her carefully away from her brother, locking eyes with Nicholas the whole time.
"Can you feel it, Nicholas?" He asked, his voice so low it was slightly growling. "Adrenaline. Top of the world mate! Ready for anything those ******** out there will throw at you."
He grinned at walked over to the table and selected a few of the onion bombs. Testing their weight in his hands he looked back to Nicholas.
His cheek was reddened by the punch which was made painfully obvious by his pale skin. It would more than likely leave a slight bruise. But Mizuki was grateful for it.
"Whatever you do, you latch hold of that feeling Nicholas. Keeps you on your toes."
Mizuki hinmself could feel the adrenaline pumping through him now, making him slightly giddy and painfully eager to get outside.
Smiling at Nina he nodded.
"Yeah. We'll keep in touch." He said indicating the walkie talkies.
It was by talking to Nina that he spotted Garath's eyes open. He looked mildly suprised and crossed over to the bed, still grinning brightly.
"Hullo you! Pleasant dreams?"
Then, casting his eyes to the two siblings he grinned.
"Suit up Troops! We head out in five minutes!"

"Damn This!" Christian yelled, running down the streets from those infected. A few feasting on the remains of a young girl had spotted him.
He continued running, pulling out his katana. His right hand gripping it moved in a diagonal motion, cutting a large hole in the chest of the stupid infected that was close to him. Before the blood squirted out of the body, Christian had already escaped.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" He yelled running down the street as a crowd of infected followed. He saw dangling, as if some God had placed it on that location for him, a fire exit. He quickly picked up speed and jumped up to the ladder.
His hands had reached but with a price. He was barely dangling and still in the grasps of the infected. He sheathed the katana, and brought out his knife with his left hand. As soon as the first infected approached, Christian made his move. Stabbing the head of the infected, between the eyes, giving him a push. He rolled upward, landing on the top of the ladder and began to climb. "F*CK THIS!" He yelled down to the infected. Each was clawing at the brick building, trying to get up.
Christian sat down and opened his pack. He pulled out a cloth and cleaned off the katana blade. After disinfecting his hands, he opened his water bottle, which was safely in another pouch, and drank from it. This is a living hell... He thought to himself between sips.

[[Someone, meet me!!]]
After stepping down from the window sill she was slightly surprised to see someone sitting on the fire escape, cleaning his katana and drinking from a pouch. Unsheathing Solarshe raised it forward while delicately placing the blade behind his back and asking,
"Who are you?"

((Ok... Crimson and Christian's RPers... pay attention to this post))
As soon as Mizuki started to laugh, Kalila knew her theory had been proven true. He did want to get hit... and as soon as the thought ended Mizuki spoke and pried Kalila from her little brother. Mizuki then spoke of adrenaline and its greatness. Oh and it was no problem for Nicholas either, he was pissed as Hell.
"Oh... Adrenaline is good, I'm not arguing against that." Kalila piped up shyly. "But, the way it is acheived can be bad." She said wondering over to the window, so she didn't have to face anyone as she spoke. "Because, I mean, getting all pumped up through anger is just plain stupid- no offense." she said quickly, she started a slight stutter now. "Wh-when you're pissed... You do th-things on the spot, without thinking them through. You let your anger take over and your just a walking time bomb." She mumbled. "W-well, I mean, when your anger is like fire... Which it so is for Nicholas. There are people who a-anger like ice... In which case, in my opinion, your theory would be true..." Kalila gripped on to the window sill, ready for "Gosh, your so stupid! Here's the right way of life..."
Nicholas leaned against the wall, in a crouched position. As Mizuki's attention changed to Garath, Nicholas looked over. "Hey... You have any idea how hard it is to lug your body up a ladder that doesn't touch the ground? And then a few stairs?" Nicholas asked jokingly with a smirk on his face. "Oh you don't?" He said without letting him reply, "Well you can ask me and Nina."
Kalila would hae happy greeted Garath, but something caught her outside the window. There was a boy and a girl outside on the fire escape. They were roughly Garath and Nina's age. She opened the window and looked back at Nina. Last time this happened the guy didn't make it, he got dragged off and eaten or turned. They didn't know, they only saw him get dragged away.
"Nina... We have more people. And, yes, people... They look absolutely normal." Kalila told the other girl and looked back out the window.
"If they're infected we'll kill them later, no joke." Nina said, still distracted by Garath finally being awake. She really liked him. She waved Kalila off to go ahead and invite them.
"Excuse me!" She said, raising her voice a bit, but still not yelling. She refused to yell, unless the situation was dire. "You two!" She said tilting her head a bit. Now that she got a better look at the two it seemed the young woman was threating the young man. She didn't know why, but she felt the need to make peace. That guy could be infected and she's just killing him... But he hasn't turned yet, even if he is. she reasoned. Kalila leaned out of the window, the way Ninahad when they first reached her place. She looked the two in the eyes, as best as she could. "If you need refuge... You guys have been invited in." She said at the same level as before. The boy seemed to be a caucasian American and the girl was... mixed? She decided she was Hispanic and African-American or Caucasian and African-American. "Come up..." She said after a pause of silence.
